'  This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.

'  For example, imagine our SharePoint endpoint is https://xyzoffice.mycompany.com/
'  The SHAREPOINT_NTLM_DOMAIN would be "mycompany.com"
'  The SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN would be "xyzoffice.mycompany.com"

'  Also, the SHAREPOINT_USERNAME would be just the name, not a full email address.
'  for example, "chilkat" instead of "chilkat@mycompany.com"

Dim http As Chilkat.Http
Set http = Chilkat.NewHttp

'  Provide the credentials:
http.Login = "SHAREPOINT_USERNAME"
http.Password = "SHAREPOINT_PASSWORD"
http.LoginDomain = "SHAREPOINT_NTLM_DOMAIN"
'  Tell Chilkat to use NTLM authentication.
http.NtlmAuth = True

'  Indicate that we want a JSON reply
http.Accept = "application/json;odata=verbose"

Dim sbJson As Chilkat.StringBuilder
Set sbJson = Chilkat.NewStringBuilder

success = http.QuickGetSb("https://SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN/_api/web/lists",sbJson)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.Print http.LastErrorText

End If

Dim json As Chilkat.JsonObject
Set json = Chilkat.NewJsonObject
success = json.LoadSb(sbJson)
json.EmitCompact = False

'  This will emit the full JSON representation of all of a site's list.
